Dallas could explore trading Jaden Hardy, per @JakeLFischer


“The Mavericks committed in early July to re-signing guard Dante Exum to bolster their backcourt to cope without Kyrie Irving (knee) for the season's first few months but need to shed one of their 15 standard contracts on the books to do so. It's believed that their push to make a trade to do just that — whether it involves Prosper or another player such as Jaden Hardy — will result in a resolution by week's end.”

Trading Hardy would be even better than trading O-Max, if possible. 

If Hardy is here, I hope he gets a chance to redeem himself, but if they can trade him they probably should.

EDIT: in fact...while I couldn't care less about attaching cash, IF this is going to take attaching a 2nd round pick, I'd feel much better if that pick was used to jettison an actual undesirable contract, like Hardy's, rather than solve a simple mathematical problem related to bodies, which is what moving O-Max would be.
